Marty Perlmutter Obituary, Death – Because of the demise of Marty Perlmutter, each and every one of us has the distinct impression that we have suffered a tremendous and excruciatingly terrible loss on a personal level. You have a vision for what the Jewish community at the College of Charleston might look like in the years to come, and we think that being a part of the Jewish community at the College of Charleston is an incredible honor. That there is a Hillel on campus that is in full functioning is one of the many reasons we count ourselves among the most fortunate people in the world. It may be found in the breathtaking Sylvia Vlosky Yaschik Jewish Studies Building, which is also one of our personal favorites among the other academic structures on campus. Everything got started at Marty’s office, which is located on the third floor of the philosophy building and can be reached using the elevator.
Marty’s office is also the location where everything got started. The lives of a considerable number of students at the College of Charleston have been profoundly altered for the better as a direct result of Marty’s influence. This influence has been significant, and it has been for the better. This has been accomplished by him arranging low-key lunches for the Jewish Student Union at local cafes and at the Blacklock House. Over the course of time, these lunches have developed into something that is quite exceptional. The Blacklock House has served as the venue for all of these feasts on multiple occasions.
Your intelligent comments and unyielding support will be dearly missed, but the legacy you leave behind will live on for decades to come and be remembered for all the reasons that are for the best. Zichrono l’vracha, may the Lord bless those who are fortunate enough to hear your recollections. May God richly reward all who get to hear your stories. The blessings of God be upon those who remember you and honor you. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it’ll turn out to be a present. By donating this photograph to the museum and then presenting it to the museum as a gift, the College of Charleston demonstrated an incredibly generous spirit.
